EQ2: Rough guide to the amount of AAs to aim for (end game)

[Crayonbox]

oh i read that as does NOT stack. i went and reread the spell. youre right.

[Noxxy]

100% does def stack

[Khatovar]

I am pretty certain that the power pool increase from Aspect of Thought does not stack with the Conjuror's increase from Elemental Cover. I know some part of AoT didn't stack with something, but my group has so damned many buffs it's hard to remember why I use what.

[Ellay]

I'm having a really hard time locking, I'm leveling so fast and it's so much fun >< is it really that hard to go back at 80 and redo the aa's you need?

[Frosty]

I can't speak from experience, but from what Khatovar and Noxxy have said, it's not a matter of it being hard, but having to go back and kill greys.

I have been fighting the urge too for the level lock. I try to get in at least 2 AA's per level right now, and travel around to keep the quests in check with my level.

[Khatovar]

It's not that it's hard, it just that you need to go back and do it. My non-locked team hit 80 last night and we're sitting around 125 AAs on the tank and 90ish on the others. But, we'd always planned on being able to go back and mentor up other characters. FYI, time /played 1-80 7d 15h

Now that we've decided to swap in a warlock and defiler, we're just going to start them from lvl1 and head out from Gorowyn. This will give most of the team a chance to get a lot more AAs while allowing us to power-level the newbs with the bonuses from our remaining RAF, mentoring, the mounts and the bonus for having a level 80 on the account. We'll probably spend a lot more time on quests this time around and just unmentor to trash-hop when we do hit dungeons to keep a steady stream of AAs coming in.

As long as you have a toon to mentor to, going back for AAs shouldn't be too difficult. It's more a matter of chewing through lower end content and resisting the nagging desire to go get your low-AA ass manhandled in a high-end dungeon.

[Ellay]

I just went back and did all of Timorous Deep, I'm sitting at 21 aa, and level 37. Working on Butcherblock now, went in with a friend on the dungeon crawl to kill named, and the exp just flew by it was nuts. So exp is locked and trying to recover :P

[Frosty]

I haven't even seen half the stuff I intended on seeing before it went grey..and I've had combat exp turned off since level 10.
I'm guessing I'll need to turn off quest exp next! inch:

[Ellay]

I probably didn't do the preferred method, maybe on my next group of characters I'll do it as suggested here but my aa is barely over my level, currently at 71. I just wanted to hit 80 and go from there
